Bamboo Duvet Covers – What You Need to Know

Short answer: A bamboo duvet cover is soft as silk, breathes well and wicks moisture away, so your duvet feels fresh and dry all night. Choose a cover to match your duvet's exact measurements, and wash it at 40 degrees without fabric softener, and it will last for many years.

What makes a bamboo duvet cover special

The duvet cover is the layer that lies closest to your body all night. In bamboo viscose it gets a smooth, silky soft surface that breathes and carries moisture away, so you lie neither clammy nor too warm. See the selection in the collection of bamboo bedding, where the covers are part of the sets.

Choose the right size

The cover has to match your duvet's measurements. For an ordinary single duvet you choose 140x200, for an extra-long duvet 140x220, and for double duvets the wide measurements. A cover in the wrong size makes the duvet bunch up in lumps or sit too tight.

Bamboo or cotton?

Compared with classic cotton bedding, bamboo is softer and better at handling moisture, while cotton often feels crisper. Which suits you best depends on how you sleep. Get the full comparison in the article on bamboo bedding versus percale cotton.
